Abstract:
The invention relates to a sensor element, particularly for detecting a physical property of a gas, particularly for detecting the concentration of a gas component, or the temperature, or a solid component or a liquid component of an exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine. The sensor element (20) has a solid electrolyte film (23), for example, and has a first end region and a second end region (202) opposite one another in the longitudinal direction of the sensor element (20). In the first end region, in the interior of the sensor element (20), the sensor element (20) has a functional element, which is electrically connected conductively to a contact surface arranged in the second end region (202) on the outer surface of the sensor element (20). The electrically conductive connection between the functional element and the contact surface has a printed conductor (328) running substantially in the longitudinal direction in the interior of the sensor element (20). The sensor element (20) additionally has a reference gas duct running substantially in the longitudinal direction of the sensor element (20) and communicating via a reference gas opening with a reference gas outside the sensor element (20). The printed conductor (328) and the reference gas duct are arranged such that they at least partially overlap as seen from a top view of the sensor element (20). The invention is characterized in that, at the end of the printed conductor (328) facing away from the end region (201) of the sensor element (20), the printed conductor (328) is angled by an angle (α) of not more than 25°, particularly not more than 14°, relative to the outer side of the sensor element (20). The printed conductor (328) can be composed of a feed line (327) and a collar (329).

The sensor element (20) has, for example, a solid electrolyte film (21) and has a first end region and a second end region (202) opposite each other in a longitudinal direction of the sensor element.
